-- This is another equivalent expression:
Solving further:
becomes
-- This is another equivalent expression:
Hence, the equivalent expressions are:



Cos x = 8/13 = 52
So your answer is 52.
Answer:
A: Since disjoint, P(up AND up AND up) = P(up) P(up) P(up) = .653= .27
A: Disjoint, so previous years have no effect on this year. 1-.65 = .35
A: Same direction; two different probabilities. P(up AND up) = .652 = .42. P(down AND down) = .352= .12. .42 + .12 = .55
